Roger Federer impression: Nick Kyrgios imitation leaves Tracy Austin baffled

Those are the thoughts of former Grand Slam champion-turned-pundit Tracy Austin.

Kyrgios, who is seen as one of the next Gen players who could challenge for the game’s biggest prizes, was in typical exuberant mood during his last-16 win over Kyle Edmund at Queen’s on Thursday.

The Australian mimicked Federer by trying to impersonate his service action.

The moment wasn’t lost on Austin, who was somewhat baffled by what Kyrgios was trying to do.

“I’ve never seen this. It looked like an exhibition at times,” Austin said when asked for her thoughts on Kyrgios’ imitation.

“Why try to use somebody else’s serve?

“It looked like Roger Federer’s serve. He does that very well.

“When you have such a big serve, then why and copy Roger’s serve?”

Kyrgios had revealed in a Q&A session before his victory over Edmund that he rates his impersonation of Federer.

“Who is your best impression? Do it,” Kyrgios said as he read the question.

“I need to be on the court for this. I do a really good Roger.

“I can do Roger’s serve to an absolute tee so maybe I’ll do that another time.

“Next question. I can’t do any impression now.”
